[Xen-users] disk options to start a cd installation problem.
Hi! Which is the precise parameters for disk option to start, for example, a WinXP installation under XEn 3.0.2? I try various configuration but still don''t work.... I create with dd an image for win and so I want start an installation from cd: disk=[''file:/path/winxp.img,ioemu:hda3,w'',''phy:/dev/cdrom,hdb:cdrom,r''] I obtain this error: Error: invalid literal for int() with base 10: '':cdrom'' Without '':cdrom'' I obtain an other error: Error: Device 771 (vbd) could not be connected. Backend device not found. What I wrong? TNX _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users
